Oh, how we love batiks! A special wax-resist dyeing technique gives these fabrics an organic, almost tie-dye or watercolor-like look. Because of how they're made, no two batik prints are the same — and the fabrics are reversible! Batik is an Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. This technique originated from Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a tjanting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap.
You'll find batiks in every color of the rainbow and lots of different prints, yet they're all recognizable by that gorgeous, arty watercolor effect. Batiks play well together, but they're also a great element to throw into an eclectic mix.
We have a very large sellection (at or near 1000) of hand-dyed batiks, both collections and recurring fabrics. Come over and check out our wide array!
